OT Parents of Teenagers: Advice needed
Posted on 3/18/18 at 12:29 pm

My son started dating his sister's best friend a few months ago. My son and daughter are close in age, and her friend spends a lot of time at our house. She, the friend, is cute and sweet, and nobody, including my daughter, was surprised when she started dating my son.
It was fine for everyone at first, but it's now constant drama at home between my son and daughter because my daughter's friend is now my son's GF first and foremost and her friend only part of the time. It's resulted in tons of jealousy and rage between two of my three kids.
Any advice on how to calm this situation? My teens have always co-existed before this.

It will not last just stick it out for now.

Tell her to start dating his best friend

Your daughter needs a boyfriend and everything can sort itself out

It sounds like your son is pretending to date this girl to hide his secret life from you

This is what my teacher friends said, too. Appreciated. This is reasonable. Thanks. I'll weather the storm.

Both need to realize by putting the girl between them, they will both end up losing her. Not fair to her. Too much pressure. Advise them of this and see of they can understand how to fix it.

Is he older than the girls?

I've talked with them once, but a second sit down doesn't hurt.
Daughter's friend/son's girlfriend is super nice and seems to be trying to balance her relationships with my kids. I do worry about that, though.

They're all minors.

If this is the only problem you have out of three teens then you are doing something right
It will suck when the dating part goes sideways and your daughter has to pick sides between her brother or friend.
I would probably suggest they handle that on the front side.

Yes, prayers sent.

Have your daughter remind her friend of the maxim "bros before hoes" (your son being the ho in this case).

How old are these kids? Sounds like they’re too young to be dating. Let them be kids and stop worrying about boyfriend girlfriend drama in middle school

I talked to my son about this right after they decided on a second date. He assured me that he would not put his sister in that situation.

You're right, though. My kids are great, and they give us no real trouble. It's a small problem to worry about. I just don't like to see them argue.
